Is it possible to work at about like two different zoos?
Is it possible to work at like about two different zoos? well is it? The reason why i'm asking is because some of you may know that some day i'll like to become a professional animal trainer and work a lot with animals but i've always wanted to work at the los angeles zoo because it's like my favorite zoo and all and probably the only zoo i've had ever been to lol, i've always dreamed of living in the city of los angeles considering that, that's where i'm from and love it a lot out there but i've always had a dream of living in hawaii as well and recently i've been wanting to work at the honolulu zoo too and also work a lot and improve and help build more enclosures and do a lot of new stuff at the zoos for the animals but i'm wondering is it possible to work at like about two zoos even if there in different states like could they have me or put me on a "certain" shift to go back and forth to the zoos, would they allow that? and i'm even considering buying a house in l.a. and in hawaii if I have enough money for that kind of stuff but anyways is there any possible way that I could work at both zoos? (I REALLY WANT TOO!)

Answer 1 :
Doubtful. As the animals you would have to take care of require daily care, they require daily keepers. Honestly it is an impossibly hard profession to get a job in, apply at both and you will be lucky to get a position at one of them. Stay with that one.
Answer 2 :
Well, ya i guess but 1 is plenty, trust me it is fun but scooping up poo and washing them, on average you would spend 8-10 hours for each job so, and you would get paid not very good, and that is 16-20 hours of your 24 hour day. So you can if you want but i only worked at one and turned out one of the top 5 most famous zoologists in the world, i have been in 3 magazines and have been on TV 6+ times for my zoology field and also have a doctors master degree and am studding marine biology and i am only 23 years old. I started collage at 17.
Answer 3 :
Very difficult to get into either zoo. You'll need an education, research time, and start out at smaller zoos working your way up if successful.
Answer 4 :
Uh, sorry but you would have to work at a profession that pays A LOT more than a zoo to buy a house in LA AND Hawaii. Good luck even affording rent on a zoo salary. Jobs working with animals typically don't pay well. People go into this profession for their love and passion of animals, NOT the money they will make. Good luck even getting a job at ONE zoo...these jobs are HIGHLY competitive. Also, most zoos don't have much use for animal trainers..those are for entertainment parks like Sea World, etc. Why don't you first worry about getting an education and a degree for this kind of work and then you can worry about the rest.
